Se­vere Weather Pre­pared­ness

Next week (March 17-23) is se­vere weather pre­pared­ness week.  Through­out the week we will be shar­ing in­for­ma­tion about be­ing pre­pared for var­i­ous types of se­vere weather, the types of com­mu­ni­ca­tion you may re­ceive, how to re­spond to weather events, and how this con­nects to our over­all cam­pus emer­gency  plan.  

Please be aware that there will be a statewide tor­nado drill on Tues­day the 19th at 10:15 am.  You will hear the com­mu­nity sirens, hear test mes­sages on ra­dio and TV, and will likely re­ceive test alerts from or­ga­ni­za­tions you may have signed up with.  We will not be send­ing a PI­LOT ALERT for this test. We are plan­ning a full sys­tem test later this spring. If the weather is not ap­pro­pri­ate on Tues­day they will resched­ule the test for Wednes­day, the 20th.  

More in­for­ma­tion on per­sonal weather pre­pared­ness can be found at Weather Ready Na­tion.
